@rather-dashing quiz show, featuring comedians who get points if they are 'quite interesting and correct' nobody quite knows how points are awarded, it doesn't really matter who wins, it's the journey through the facts and the presentation that makes it good. hope that helps.

If its not available in Canada i would seriously download various episodes.All the 'contestants' are comedians so they're like this all the time and you honestly learn so much while laughing your head off!

As usual many Americans on this site seem more concerned with protecting their childhood myths instead of learning the historical factors that belied the revolution and eventual founding of the United States.

Obviously realising that the puritans fled the UK to enforce religious persecution as opposed to the other way round wouldve run contrary to the idea that America is some magical special place full of righteous justice and glorious freedom.

But guess what? history is full of hipocrisy, bMore..ad behaviour and general stupidity. However, by accepting and understanding what really happened we can learn from it and not repeat their mistakes, instead of covering them up with dumb fairy tales for the shallow goal of boosting national egos.Less..

@fludblud Your statment makes no sense and is completely illogical. You basically said they came to America to freely practice their religion (no matter what it was) and not to practice religious freedom. HUH?

Because my usual programs are on break during the summer, I've watched some BBC-Entertainment. Specifically this program and "Come dine with me". But I like QI because I like factoids. However, since they're doing reruns all over the space-time continuum I saw them contradict themselves somewhat. In one episode they stated that we have two moons, and in the other episode they stated that we used to think that we had two moons but "the other" moon isn't really a moon etc. etc.More.. I still like it though.Less..

@7ShadesofSunday I agree, but since they rerun these shows kinda randomly, I can see a 2 year old episode followed by a 7 year old episode, it get's a bit weird at times. But I guess my point is void. And as I said, I really enjoy the show. :)

LOL! I looked all over for an American that cares what a euro-peon from a declining imperalist country that is in the process of surrendering to the muslims says and all I found was a few America haters at an OWS protest. Maybe next time they can talk about the British rape of India, Africa and the opium Wars in China in modern times...

How pathetically stupid and illogical it is to say the Puritains came to America to persecute and that in England you were free to practice any religion.
